The Center for Precious Minds | Fort Pierce

The Center for Precious Minds in Fort Pierce, FL is dedicated to helping children reach their communication goals and develop language skills. If you’re wondering if your child needs speech therapy, you should know that it is almost always recommended for autistic children due to issues with social communication. Speech therapy is a big focus in early intervention for autistic children and it’s important to teach language and communication skills as early as possible if there are any delays in that area. Your child will learn effective ways to communicate, which will help them grow into more independent and confident individuals. Signs that your child may need speech therapy include only speaking a few words, not speaking at all, or difficulty responding to questions, starting or ending conversation, changing conversation topics, and understanding other people’s body language.
